“Is the awarding of the big three-year contract to Owl Company just taking this into consideration and taking precautions in advance?”
"That's right."
"Do you need domestic help?"
Regarding his father's concern, Wang Yaocheng replied;
"It is not necessary for the time being. It would be disadvantageous for private companies to be involved in this. Some people in the West are highly sensitive and it is better to solve the problem through private armed forces. Owl Company will purchase 12 Black Hawk helicopters from abroad for a transaction amount of US$89 million to use in
Armed patrols along the 650 kilometers of railway lines and mines, coupled with the existing five Mi-28s, the air power is sufficient for the time being."
After hearing his son's refusal to help, Wang Guodong sighed and said, "Isn't it too tiring to bear all the pressure alone?"
Wang Yaocheng smiled when he heard this and said, "I think it's okay. After all, the consortium is strong. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. The country has also given important help in many aspects. Owl Company hired retired armored battalion professionals from the country.
, have a good tacit understanding with each other, and successfully established the ground armed force of the synthetic armored battalion, which is a force that cannot be ignored in West Africa."
"Xiaocheng, you invested so much in Guinea, are you just considering future development?"
"Yes, the Red River Port New City will be built as an import hub port and an ore export hub port in West Africa on the Atlantic Ocean. After this railway line is completed, aluminum ore, copper ore and lead ore will naturally develop, just like ripe fruit.
It fell off at the slightest touch."
Wang Yaocheng concealed his strategic vision and talked freely in front of his parents;
"Owl Company's bases No. 1 and 2 are very particular about the location selection. They are located on both sides of a 1,200 square kilometer area on the Atlantic Ocean. This part of the hot land belonging to the consortium is firmly protected and turned into an independent kingdom.
The road from Conakry to the Red River New Port must pass through Base No. 1, and our powerful armored battalion is guarding this choke point. If you extend your fist, you can hook it to the capital Conakry, and if you retract it, you can tighten it.
Tightly defend the base and Newport City.
As the top priority of the entire Simandou iron ore project, the seaside deep-water terminal port will gather more than 6,000 construction workers to participate in the construction of the terminal and the new port city, and provide more than 20,000 job opportunities.
Once the entire project is completed, Red River Resources will have a main railway line connecting the hinterland of Guinea.
At that time, any aluminum, copper or lead mines that want to be developed must go through the Red River Resources Company, otherwise there will be no way.
Other multinational mining companies are faced with the dilemma of having to mine ore but not being able to transport it, and there is no dock for it to be transported. This is unsolvable.
Unless they build another 600km railway line and a separate port.
The problem is that after Red River Resources Company acquired the Simandou iron ore, Guinea as a whole no longer has enough resources to support the investment required to operate a 600km-long dedicated railway.
The railway line and Honghe Port New City controlled by Honghe Resources Company will soon become the lifeblood of the entire country of Guinea and the passion of men.
Derived from this
You can covet the oil and iron ore in the interior of neighboring Liberia. You must know that Liberia's iron ore also has reserves of 10 billion tons, with an average grade of 59%. However, it is very difficult to develop deep into the interior.
Starting from Simandou in Guinea and heading southeast, we still need to go 550km inland to reach the iron ore area of Liberia. If we build a separate iron ore export railway from Liberia, the mileage will be as high as 1,350 kilometers, and the total project investment is expected to reach 28 billion US dollars.
huge.
The place is now desolate and still sleeping, and no mine can withstand such a large investment.
Others can't do it, but Honghe Resources Company has the conditions to start.
Because our heavy-haul double-track railway design capacity reaches 300 million tons, the annual throughput of Honghe New Port can reach 350 million tons, which is enough transportation capacity to feed this railway project.
If the Liberian iron ore project is launched, using the existing transportation capacity and terminals of the Simandou Iron Mine, it will only need to build an extension line to the Liberian mining area, plus the necessary mining facilities and power plants. The investment will be about 10 billion US dollars.
A separate railway line, dock and supporting facilities need to be built leading to the seaside.
Of course, this is all long-term planning, and there is no need to take action yet."
Listening to his son's introduction, Wang Guodong was filled with excitement and was deeply impressed by this grand plan. He asked, "Owl Company has invested heavily in Guinea. I heard that 800 more black soldiers have arrived. It seems that they have already planned it."
, it seems, is not just for the Simandou iron ore project.”
"Haha, it's true. We are implementing a plan to erode one step at a time and move forward steadily. The first phase of the Simandou Iron Mine is 80 million tons. After completion, there will be a second phase of the project, which will double the output. The subsequent
Aluminum mines and copper mines will fall into our hands. After four or five years of operation, we will consider further expansion to neighboring countries and fill up the transportation capacity of this double-track railway."
Wang Yaocheng smiled happily when he said this; "If you look at the map, you can see that Guinea's Red River New Port is very close to Nigeria, which has a population of nearly 200 million. There are more than 20 African countries in the surrounding area, all of which can be connected by sea.
Therefore, the Honghe New Port can serve as a hub port for commodity distribution centers in West Africa, radiating Chinese commodities into a large market with a population of 460 million.
After all, it is not easy to obtain a fully autonomous port city in other African countries, and this will be a foothold for us in West Africa."
The father and son chatted enthusiastically until late at night. It was not until Chen Xiulian's repeated urging that the in-depth conversation between father and son ended.
Wang Yaocheng was about to go back to the backyard to rest when Chen Xiulian suddenly asked, "Xiaocheng, you have been busy for so long these days. You should be stable for a few months and not run around anymore, right?"
"Uh...Mom, I'm afraid not. I will only stay in China for one more month. It is estimated that the Western Australia project will be put into operation at the end of June, the first shipment of iron ore will be transported, and there will be a grand project completion and commissioning ceremony. The Australian Prime Minister and
High-level government officials will also participate.
In addition, Huawei was listed in London in early July. Mr. Ren and I agreed to go to support it. It happened that the consortium had several acquisition projects to sign in Europe. They were all solved in one go. It is estimated that it will take more than a month.
.
Then I have to fly to the United States, and I won’t be able to come back until the end of the year.”
"ah……"
Chen Xiulian was a little confused when she heard that, but when she thought that her son was doing big things, parents could not hold back, so she could only nodded and said, "Well, they are all important things, then... you can see for yourself
Let's do it, don't worry about this at home, mom can only do this for you."
"Thank you mom!"
"Hey, it's already so late, and the old man insists on dragging you to talk. Go back and rest early."
"Then you should rest early, I'll go to the back."
"Go ahead."
Seeing Wang Yaocheng's tall figure disappear behind the shadow of the tree, Wang Guodong was filled with emotion and murmured proudly, hands on his hips;
"Hey, my son, look at how big this business is. This courage and generosity are beyond repair. Take one step at a time and see three steps at a time. Why is this kid so smart? There are so many twists and turns in his belly. Our old Wang family
It’s true that the ancestral graves of eight generations have been smoking, and I, as an old man, have all taken advantage of it. This son gave birth to..."
"Did you give birth to my son? You are acting like an idiot. My son is the meat in my belly. He was born in ten months of pregnancy. I have always said that he is very smart since he was a child." Chen Xiulian retorted, the proud look on her face could not be concealed.
.
Wang Guodong was in a very good mood, and was not annoyed at being pushed by his wife. He bowed his hands with a smile and said, "Madam, you have worked so hard and have given our old Wang family a smart man with a glorious ancestor. This is a blessing from my previous life. I am here."
Thank you!"
"That's right, go to bed early!" Chen Xiulian couldn't help but look proud.
late at night
The moon quietly hides behind the clouds, the shadows of the trees blend into the night, and the ancient city of Yanjing enters midnight.
